Featured Artist... Dave Stringer
Dave Stringer is at the forefront of the new Kirtan movement. Kirtan (from the Sanskrit word meaning "to sing") is a folk form that arose from the devotional Bhakti Yoga movementof 15th century India. The primary musical feature of Kirtan is the use of call and response. Dave's sound marries the transcendent mysticism of traditional Indian instruments with the exuberant, groove-oriented sounds of American gospel and progressive Jazz. His work translates the ancient traditions of Kirtan and Yoga into an inspiring and thoroughly modern participatory theater, open to a multiplicity of interpretations and accessible to all.
Dave Stringer has been profiled in magazines such as Time and Billboard, has collaborated on recordings with the likes of Vas, Rasa, Donna De Lory, Krishna Das and Jai Uttal and his voice can be heard on the soundtracks of Matrix and the video game Myst.
